Abstract

Freud told Fliess, in June 1900, that he recorded and analysed the dream of Irma's injection on 24 July 1895 and thus the Secret of Dreams was unveiled. The author finds no evidence to substantiate Freud's account for discovering the wish-fulfilment (Wunscherfullung) theory of dreams. New readings of Freud's contemporaneous texts offer radically different narratives from that single teleological Eureka plot subsequently popularized by Jones. New datings for the production of The Interpretation of Dreams invite a re-evaluation of those texts which still constitute the specimen dream of psychoanalysis.
